Qantas to fly non-stop London to Perth

Qantas are adding to their list of aviation firsts with the announcement of the introduction of non-stop flights from London to Perth using the 787-9 Boeing Dreamliner.

This will be the first regular passenger service to directly link the UK with Australia. This announcement by Qantas is game changing and will start to transform outbound travel from the UK to Australia.

Flights will commence in March 2018. Qantas’ London-Perth non-stop service will operate to and from their existing domestic terminals (T3/4) at London Heathrow. Qantas plan to upgrade both terminals to accommodate international flights and allow one-stop services from London to over 10 ports in Australia.

Existing Qantas international services from Perth (to Singapore and to Auckland) will also move to T3/4, helping to further simplify the journey of thousands of people every year.
